Pi coding agent: config folder is out of place on Linux

Systemerror7A69

This has been frustrating me for a while and is part of why I explore other coding agents. As many advantages as pi has in some areas, there are definitely areas where I believe the hype to be a bit overstated. While the config folder is, ultimately, not relevant for performance, how this was and is continued to handled is a bit frustrating for me. They have made it abundantly clear it's not going to change however so I'm looking at how other coding agents perform currently.

I keep getting the Unicorn or 404.

404 on the page, main page: "Cannot retrieve latest commit at this time." [1]. GitHub are you okay? Edit: Known issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49330597 [1] https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/

Who cares, geez. Is a single github issue so important that this needs to land on the front page? You can move it and configure your own env to have it wherever you want. I use pi and couldn’t care less.

Dude this is the same with cursor...its eating my memory so much.

I don't care at all, no need for a .config/ move.

it appears that some people are extremely particular about how everything should be in right place.

This feels like the sort of decision that well meaning folks that manage utilities can disagree on. It's frustrating every time it happens because it's usually a fairly reasonable perspective to ask for XDG / operating system specific support for folders to be respected. (e.g. macOS's ~/Library stuff). Posting a github issue like this though feels like an easy brigading target, so please don't do that.
